Could not load file or assembly '' or one of its dependencies. There is not enough space on the disk (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070070)

At first, (as the error explains) when I checked the disk space, it was very less. It was less than 500 MB. All the applications from that app. server node throwing the similar error. Then I referred this and free some space. It looked fine. Now the free space was around 3 GB. Then notified client.

After sometime, got an angry email from Client saying the problem still exists. When I checked again, the same problem persists. Funny thing is, this time, only one application is throwing the error. Other applications from the same node worked fine. Only diff. between those application is the .NET framework. The free space is still the same (around 3 GB).

This time, cleared all the applications under \Temporary ASP.NET Files. It worked again.

On a cold evening walked from Emirates Palace hotel till Marina Mall to take some photos. Somehow, Rasena and kids co-operated. I miss Nikon D600 for this a lot.

It was a blooper taking photos of fireworks. Actually the first day fireworks on one side. So the second day, thinking the fireworks will be on the other side of corniche, we walked a lot towards Emirates palace.

Bang!! They put the fireworks on the same side. I had to zoom and cover it. Will post some fireworks photos soon.

I had to export an excel file into a DB. The excel file contains cross tab information. So I had to store it in the DB as normal table. When I insert row by row, it took 150 seconds for a 800 row excel file.

So decided to optimize using OracleBulkCopy. When I tested in staging server, it took only 48 seconds for the same file.

After deploying the solution in production, I was getting the following error as the production environment is using a restricted/scaled down user.

ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Even after granting the user, Insert privilege, the same error.

Finally found out “Select” privilege is also required. Though, not sure why this is required.

For the past 2-3 days, i stuck with wkhtmltopdf tool. We have an ASP.NET application converting some html files to pdf files. It worked perfectly in dev/QA server. We are using .NET Process class to start the conversion.

The development server is “Windows Server 2008 R2″. The production server is “Windows Server 2003″

hahaha Wait a minute! We will upgrade our production soon.

Ok, the problem here with the production server is, the html to pdf conversion is not consistent. One in 8 attempts it worked. After trying the followings

give some pause for the process to complete

thinking some image references is the problem, replaced absolute path with relative path

Nothing helped. It was really frustrating. My colleague Vijay asked to check if any command line option will help.

I tried the “-q” global option in the wkhtmltopdf tool and it worked perfectly everywhere. Don’t know the actual cause of this problem yet. Hope this helps someone.

Update: still not working consistently. planning to upgrade the server to Windows Server 2008 R2, before MS releases Windows Server 2012.
